About This Home
Welcome to 2502 W Sterner Street — a rare opportunity to secure both a home and an adjacent lot in a rapidly developing Strawberry Mansion corridor. This is part of a package deal being offered at $160,000, with $120,000 allocated to the home and $40,000 (2500 W Sterner - PAPH 2619688) for the side lot, creating incredible flexibility for homeowners and investors alike. The property features a 2-bedroom layout with a partially updated interior, including a half-remodeled kitchen that gives you a head start on renovations. With a little TLC, this home can be transformed into a comfortable primary residence or a strong rental asset. Whether you're a first-time buyer utilizing a 203(k) renovation loan or an investor looking for your next value-add project, this property checks the right boxes. What truly sets this opportunity apart is the included side lot. In a dense urban area where space is limited, having additional land opens the door to multiple strategies—off-street parking, private outdoor living space, storage, or even future development potential (buyer to verify zoning and use). This added flexibility can significantly increase both the usability and long-term value of the property. Located just steps from neighborhood retail, public transportation, and major thoroughfares, the property offers easy access to Center City and surrounding areas. The block shows ongoing growth and redevelopment, making this an ideal time to buy into the area before values continue to rise. 2502 W Sterner Street delivers affordability, location, and upside potential all in one. So, don’t miss your chance to capitalize on this unique dual-parcel opportunity.
